Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

When Zoey stepped out of the kitchen, her cheeks were still a rosy hue.

By chance, Nolan caught sight of her, raising an eyebrow before becoming even more convinced that Mommy always got shy around Daddy. Was this what liking someone was all about?

Hadn't Daddy said once that a girl's blush was worth more than anything?

Fitch hadn't lied to her; her presence indeed had a positive effect on Nolan's condition.

Fitch, paperwork in hand, seemed to flinch at her words.
